Germany is known for the grand architectural splendor of its many castles and palaces. Here are an assortment of gorgeous historical structures you shouldn't miss on your visit to Germany.


Hohenschwangau Castle

Standing out amid the dense verdure of Bavaria, the imposing facade of the Hohenschwangau Castle looks nothing short of a castle from a fairytale. Dating back to the 19th Century and credited to Maximilian II of Bavaria, the castle was home to King Ludwig II when he was a child. The architecture and interiors of the castle are simply spectacular. The castle is open to public visitation throughout the year and also offers guided tours in several languages. The castle is one of the prime tourist attractions in the city. The Schloss Hohenschwangau is also one of the few castles in the country that remained unscathed during both World War I and World War II.

Würzburg Residence

Completed in 1744, the Würzburg Residence is a stunning palace in Baroque style. The grand staircase, chapel and salon are particularly impressive. There are also beautiful frescoes, painted by the Venetian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Even Napoleon Bonaparte was struck with the palace's beauty, staying there three different times between 1806 and 1813. The Würzburg Residence was severely damaged by an airstrike during World War II. However, it has been diligently restored, and now enjoys a spot on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Castelo Neuschwanstein

Located on a mountainside overlooking the Hohenschwangau valley, the Neuschwanstein Castle is a dream-like structure in an idyllic setting. Construction of the castle began in 1869 but was not completed until 1892. King Ludwig II commissioned its construction so that he could stay in a beautiful castle when he wanted to escape the royal courts. However, the king did not live to see the castle's completion. Visitors can explore the castle's Byzantine, Romanesque, and Gothic-inspired interior, including the third and fourth floors, which were supposed to have been the king’s residences. These floors house opulent murals and spectacular wood carvings. Tours of the castle are available throughout the day. Visitors must visit the nearby Mary's Bridge, from where the view of the castle and its surroundings is stunning.

Palácio Nymphenburg

Maior que o Palácio de Versalhes, o Schloss Nymphenburg era a impressionante residência de verão dos Wittelsbachs. Uma das atrações mais populares de Munique, o palácio e seu arredor abrigam vários pontos de referência que apresentam diversos estilos arquitetônicos. Projetado pelo arquiteto barroco italiano Augustino Barelli, o palácio ainda preserva suas salas rococó e barroca. A Parede de Pedra ornamentada e polida em mármore é particularmente impressionante e a famosa 'Schönheitengalerie' (Galeria das Belezas), contendo os retratos de 36 mulheres locais, é imperdível para os visitantes. Alguns palácios interessantes menores podem ser encontrados no parque: o Amalienburg, Pagodenburg a> e Badenburg. O Marstallmuseum tem uma exibição abrangente de carruagens, trenós e louças, enquanto a Meditationskapelle (Capela de Meditação) com sua Magdalenenklause também merece uma visita.

Linderhof Palace

The Linderhof Palace, nestled in the western corner of Ettal, is the smallest castle to have been constructed by King Ludwig II. The tour of the palace gives visitors a glimpse into the opulent life that King Ludwig II led. From various chambers, dining rooms, grottos, and the King's favorite Hall of Mirrors, the ornate castle and its breathtaking expanse gives an up and close peek into the royal life. In winter when the castle is covered in snow, it resembles a spectacular, magical snow globe. While the castle is the smallest in size among all three palaces commissioned by King Ludwig II, it is also one of the most beautiful and exquisite royal complexes.

Hohenzollern Castle

A castle that looks straight out of a fairy tale, the Hohenzollern is the epitome of royalty. Perched on a hilltop, the palace is the ancestral seat of the House of Hohenzollern. While cloud covers add a mystical allure to the magnificent castle, its walls are awash in a gleaming golden color on a bright sunny day. An architectural wonder, the neo-gothic castle attracts thousands of curious tourists from all over the world. In addition to its captivating construction, the jeweled items on display, impressive art collection and an open-air cinema are noteworthy attractions of the castle.

Lichtenstein Castle (Württemberg)

When you first look at the Lichtenstein Castle from a distance, it is reminiscent of a castle out of Disney movies. Sitting atop a cliff, this castle exudes charm and elegance. It is believed that the castle has been around since the 12th Century but sustained damages during periods of turbulence and was rebuilt time and again. The Neo-Gothic style of the castle gives it a wonderful vintage charm which is extended to its interiors. The castle houses arms and ammunition from centuries past; these are still conserved in impeccable conditions and are a treat to observe.

Eltz Castle

Construction on the impressive Eltz Castle began some time in the 9th-Century. Continued up through the 11th-Century, when the main portion of the castle was built; this structure can still be seen today. Eltz Castle was the home of Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa in the 12th Century. Following a family feud in the 13th Century, the castle came to be known as 'Ganerbenburg' for housing several lineages in its many rooms, and not just the royal family alone. Encompassed by the Elzbach River, it is characterized by its eight towers. A tour of the Eltz Castle gives visitors a glimpse of the courtyard, treasury, armor room, kitchen and the picturesque grounds. The castle was featured on the 500 Deutsche Mark note of Germany.
